The State Supreme Court has lately
decided liquor case from Washington
county by making two interesting rul-
ings, one against and the other favor.
able TO the liquor interest. The licens-
ing OF a wholesale house was at issue.
About seven hundred voters signed
the petition for the license, and some
two thousand persons the remonstrance
against it, including both men and
women. Judge Hart granted the
license on the ground that the reasons
urged by the remonstrants were such
as should be addressed rather to the
Legislature than the Court, and for
the additional reason that more than
half .hese voters in the vicinity asked
that the license be granted. The Su-
preme Court confirmed the granting of
the license, holding that the remon-
strancos as well as the additional peti
tion must be special-not general
that 10, for or against a single appli-
cation otherwise il may be disregard
ed. But it decided that the act does
not require that either the petitioners
or remonstrants should be voters and
that it is enough that they be citizens,
whether male or female and it is
mistake to pass over women and count
only voters.

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonles
OF a severe attack of rheumatism, neural
gia or sciatica, and relief comes, it seems as
if n new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings OF thousands
who, after trying physicians and number
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great JOY that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
367 Fulton St., Brooklyn, n. Y.
After suffering for nearly two years with
a continuous attack of rheumatism; after
trying almost every specific, domestic and
foreign, which the credulity of wise man.
or fool, might lead one to trust in, il was
a double pleasure TO me to find remedy
which, originating in the famous "City Of
Elms the home Of my ancestors and
its first founders-has proved so inyalua-
bic a blessing 1t is nearly six months
since was led to trace out the significance
of that word Athlophoros. 1t has proved
TO me, in a good degree, a renewer of my
former vigor and strength, so that have
been enabled TO move about with almost
youthful activity, and to feel, while ap.

The writers of the above letter give
these facts to the public simply to
justify the claims that they hare made
that "if the kidneys and liver are kept
in a healthy condition by the use of
Warmers safe cure, which hundreds of
thousands have proved to be specific,
when all other remedies failed, and
that has received the endorsement of
the highest medical talent in Europe
Australasia and America, many life
would be prolonged and the happiness
of the people preserved. 1t is success
full with so many different diseases be-
cause it and it alone, can remove the
uric acid from the blood through the
kidneys"
Our readers are familiar with the
preparation named.
Commentator thereof has often ap-
peared in our columns.
We believe it to be one of the best
if not the best ever manufactured. We
know the proprietors are nen of char
acter and influence.
We are certain they have awakened
a widespread interest in the public
mind concerning the Importance of
the kidneys. We believe with them
that they are the key to health, and
that for their restoration from disease
and maintenance in health, there is
nothing equal to this great remedy.
The proprietors say they "do not
glory in this universal prevalence of
disease, but having started out with
the purpose of spreading the merits of
Warmers safe cure before the world,
because it cured our senior proprietor,
achO aoas gioen up By doctors as incur
able, we feel it our duty to state the
facts and leave the public to its own
differences. We point to our claims,
and to their public and universal veri-
.fcatiOn with pride, and if the public
does not believe what we say, we tell
them to ask their friends and neighbors
what they think about our prepara-
tions'
As stated above, we most cordially
commend the persual of this correspon-
dence by our readers, believing that
in so doing, we are fulfilling simple
public obligation.

CONVINCING vERIFICArIoN OF wIpEoAsT
PUBLIC STATEMENTS.

To THE READERS OF THE COLUMBIAN.
In common with many publishers
and editors, we have been accustomed
to look upon certain statements which
VIC have seen in our columns as merely
adroit advertising.
Consequently we feel justified in
taking the liberty of printing few
points from a private letter recently
received from one Of our largest pat.
rons, as sort Of confession of faith to
our readers. We quote:
"We have convinced ourselves that
by telling what we know to be true,
we have produced at last a permanent
conUiction in the public mind. Seven
years ago we stated what the national
disease of this country was, and that it
was rapidly Increasing. Three years
ago we stated that marked check had
been given it.
"The statistics of one of the largest
life insurance companies of this country
shows that in 1888 and 1884, the NOR
tality from kidney disorders did not
increase over the previous years other
companies stated the same thing. 1t
is not presumptuous for us to claim
credit IN checking these ravages.
"Seven years ago we stated that the
condition of the kidneys was the key
to the condition of health; within the
past five years all careful life i'1sur-
dnce companies have conceded the
truth OF this statement, for whereas,
ten years ago, chemical analysis to de-
termine the condition of the kidneys
was not required, to-day millions Of
dollars IN risks are refused, because
chemical examination discovers u,asats-
pected diseases Of the kidneys.
"Seven years ago we stated that the
ravages of Brlght's Diseases were in
significant compared with other unsus.
pected disorders of the kidneys OF
many misleading names that ninety
three per cent. of human ailments are
attributed to deranged kidneys, which
fills the blood with uric acid, or kid.
ney poison, which causes these many
fatal diseases.
''The uric acid, or kidney poison, is
the real cause OF the majority OF cases
of paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease
commissions, pneumonia, consumption
and insanity oyer half the victims Of
consumption are first the victims Of
diseased kidneys.
"When the recent death of an hon
ored ex.official of the United States
was announced, his physician said tha
although he was suffering from Brightl
Disease, thai was not the cause o
death. He was not frank enough tc
admit that the apoplexy which over
took him in his bed, was the fatal effec
of the kidney poison in the blood
which had eaten away the substance
of the arteries and brain nor was Lo
gan's physician honest enough to stat'
that his fatal rheumatism was caused
by kidney acid in the blood.
''If the doctors would state in ofiicia
reports the original cause of death
the people of this country would b.
alarmed, yea, nearly panic stricken, al
the fearful mortality from kidney dis

We anticipate our regular day OF
publication in order to lay some mat.
tiers before onr readers prior to the
election which could not 80 we'll be
deferred. We are sure we need add
nothing by way Of exhortation to our
readers to do their whole duty on
Thursday. They are fully aroused
to the Importance of the crisis. The
grand demonstration on Tuesday
abundantly demonstrated this fact.
What the issue may be We of
course do not know. We however
see no reason to doubt that victory
is about to perch on our snowy
banner. If, however, we shall find
ourself mistaken, we wish to put on
record our conviction and predic-
tion that the reverse will be only
temporary. Prohibition IN Texas at

like another Geronimo-that OF
"the women and children of the
South" we notice that our friend
the Hon. George quite needlessly
weakens his case by putting in the
clause eff found necessary" Of course
it was necessary to appease the thirst
for innocent blood of this diabolical
editor, if nothing else. The Hon.
George is not quite up to the Nc
Lemore standa I'd in another respect;
Mack made us continue this fiend-
ish position not only during the war
but after it was over. He was the
original genius in this business, and
we insist that he shall have due cred

have been surprised at one omission
in his story, and that is why he did
not charge us also with oANNIBALIsn!

been just as easy for him to have
done, and just as we'll founded and
plausible as the rest of his story.
We suggest this "pointer," without

In passing we will just say, us re-
spects our late 4th of July address,
in which Mr.. McGehee finds evidence
of what he calls communism" that
its publication was SO recent that it
must be fresh in the minds of our
readers, ard we will leave them to
judge if it is justly open to any such
imputation.
We must not forget to notice the
great solicitude of Mr. McGehee for
the interests of Governor Ross and
Secretary Moore, which crops out
frequently in his communication. If
these gentlemen were only aware
of the immense influence which our
representative Yields,
they would be almost overcome with
gratitude for his self-authorized guar
In conclusion, and in all sincerity
we disclaim any feeling of enmity to-
wards Mr.. McGehee, and must ex-
press our regret that a man having

which he does, should have made
such humiliating exhibition of him

constituency,
